    I believe it's called "Integrate default metro apps", there you can choose what to integrate. You should have the apps in the MSMG folder, I downloaded the ISO but there's also a member who maintains a kind of
    repository, you may be able to download what you need from there.
    I forgot if it was Abbodi, others may chime in to direct you to the correct link.

    Cheers.

    Interesting, tried three different servers but none of them could actually fetch the files. I'll try again tomorrow. Meanwhile, if anyone can post the mirrors provided it's not against the protocol, will be appreciated.

    Guys, I'm all to confused about how I should go with this, a little help here please :eek:

    I got to the point where the toolkit mounted quite a few things then warnings started to show up regarding "you should do X before doing Y" and "you shouldn't do X before doing Y" so I just aborted and hopped here for expert advice. Here's what I wish to do with the ISO

    *Remove all the apps, Metro apps, Bing apps, Store, including Windows Media Player and Windows Defender (Like to keep snipping tool and PDF Reader though)
    *Integrate .Net 3.5 Framework (Do I need to download any additional files for this? )
    *Integrate Windows updates (these updates are set to be installed in a specified sequence only, the list includes "clearcompressionflaf.exe" in the middle of the sequence, how do I go about this? )
    *Integrate my graphic driver
    *Pre-activation with Abbodi's KML
    *My windows firewall policy, custom HOSTS file, Windows theme patch (3rd party patch to run non-MS themes) and some scheduled tasks.
    *Replace IE with Edge (is it even possible? )

    I understand that all of this won't be possible, but whatever is. I'm on Win 8.1 (x86)

    any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    I am sure you can do most of this, but I want to emphasize one thing. Do everything EXCEPT for the .Net3.5. Save and Unmount. Cleanup the install.wim. Remount THEN install .Net3.5. Now save and unmount. Compress install.wim, and either convert to install.esd, or simply make ISO.

    Enabling dotnetfx 3 after integrating the updates (on 10), and the CU in particular, can result in re-downloading at least a part of the updates (normally CU) after installing the OS to update dotnetfx 3.

    Do you want every install to get the state "installed" on the iso (enabling dotnetfx 3 will set the pending flag and then /resetbase can't be done), so you can /resetbase the wim, you could install it first in audit mode, sysprep and capture it, and then mount the captured wim and /resetbase it.

    So what you're suggesting, if I understood correctly is ttwo different processes for servicing one single project. The second process by scratch only to integrate .Net 3.5

    Okay. Thanks for the advice, I'll wait for the rest of things to clear up as it appears to be the last step.

    There is no need to first umount and remount to use the /resetbase option, just cleanup the mounted wim with a separate manual dism command:

    Code:
    Dism /Image:x:\MSMG\ToolKit-v6.3\Mount\Install\ /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
    And then enable Dotnetfx3 with MSMG afterwards.

    I said that more than once and even posted the correct order, but it appears that few people read the thread these days.

    Cheers.

    Feedback @ improving Cumulative Update processing speed by cutting down decompression times to only one

    Step1: Create an empty folder, e.g. KB3213986

    Step2: Expand main KB3213986.cab to KB3213986 folder
    Code:
    expand D:\ToolKit-v6.2\Packs\WHD\w10rs1\x64\Cumulative\KB3213986.cab -F:* D:\ToolKit-v6.2\Packs\WHD\w10rs1\x64\Cumulative\KB3213986
    Step3: Expand all sub .cab in KB3213986 to KB3213986 folder
    Code:
    expand D:\ToolKit-v6.2\Packs\WHD\w10rs1\x64\Cumulative\KB3213986\*.cab -F:* D:\ToolKit-v6.2\Packs\WHD\w10rs1\x64\Cumulative\KB3213986
    
    Step4: Delete all sub .cab in KB3213986 folder

    Step5: Integrate Cumulative Update to all Images by pointing to the KB3213986 folder
    Code:
    dism /image:D:\ToolKit-v6.2\Mount\Boot\1 /add-package:D:\ToolKit-v6.2\Packs\WHD\w10rs1\x64\Cumulative\KB3213986
    
    dism /image:D:\ToolKit-v6.2\Mount\Boot\2 /add-package:D:\ToolKit-v6.2\Packs\WHD\w10rs1\x64\Cumulative\KB3213986
    
    dism /image:D:\ToolKit-v6.2\Mount\Install /add-package:D:\ToolKit-v6.2\Packs\WHD\w10rs1\x64\Cumulative\KB3213986
    
    dism /image:D:\ToolKit-v6.2\Mount\WinRE /add-package:D:\ToolKit-v6.2\Packs\WHD\w10rs1\x64\Cumulative\KB3213986
